FOREWORD 


The  increasing  demand  for  men  and  women  of  Univer- 
sity training  who  are  prepared  to  teach  athletics  and  phy- 
sical education  in  High  Schools  and  Colleges  has  led  the 
Universit3^  to  offer  special  courses  in  these  subjects  in  the 
Summer  Session.  The  demand  for  such  teachers  has  been 
so  greatly  in  excess  of  the  supply,  that  many  positions 
have  been  filled  each  year  by  persons  who  have  had  no 
special  training.  Statistics  show  that  not  more  than  one- 
third  of  these  prove  successful;  on  the  other  hand  the  records 
show  that  fully  75  per  cent  of  those  who  have  had  adequate 
training  make  successful  teachers. 

There  is  a broad  field  of  opportunity  along  these  lines 
ranging  from  summer  positions  in  public  playgrounds  at  $75 
to  $100  per  month  to  permanent  positions  in  secondary 
schools,  colleges,  and  municipal  recreation  systems  at  from 
one  thousand  to  twenty-five  hundred  dollars  per  year. 
Many  of  these  positions  require  men  and  women  able  to 
teach  one  or  more  academic  subjects  in  addition  to  coaching 
athletic  teams  or  conducting  classes  in  physical  training. 

The  salary  of  an  elementary  or  high  school  teacher 
who  is  able  to  take  charge  of  work  in  athletics  or  general 
physical  education  is  from  25  to  50  per  cent  higher  than 
that  of  one  who  is  not  prepared  to  direct  these  activities. 

In  this  connection  it  is  to  be  noted  that  inquiries  con- 
cerning prospective  candidates  are  quite  different  from  those 
formerly  received.  In  almost  every  case  the  emphasis  is  laid 
upon  the  character  and  training  of  the  candidate,  upon  his 
ability  to  influence  the  ideals  and  standards  of  conduct,  to 
promote  physical,  mental,  and  moral  welfare,  and  above  all, 
to  use  for  these  purposes  the  athletic  and  play  activities  of 
the  school.  Great  skill  as  a player  and  ability  to  turn  out 
“winning”  teams  regardless  of  the  standards  of  sportman- 
ship  are  no  longer  the  first  considerations.

In  presenting  these  athletic  courses,  in  a field  that  is 
somewhat  new,  the  officers  of  administration  feel  that  they 
are  offering  an  opportunity  for  thorough  study  in  the  theory 
and  practise  of  subjects  for  which  there  is  a great  and 
legitimate  demand.  They  believe,  too,  that  the  students 
earnest  devotion  of  his  energy  to  work  of  these  courses  will 
result  in  his  being  able  to  inculcate  in  those  with  whom  he 
comes  in  contact,  as  athletic  director,  the  highest  ideals  of 
sportsmanship  and  character.
